About Eltham GPO
Just off the High Street, re-opened in February 2014 and takes its name from the building's original use as a postal sorting office. The external signage still shows The Old Post Office as the pub name! Spacious pub originally, when run by Antic, furnished in shabby chic style with various bric-a-brac wall and floor standing adornments like typewriters, sewing machines, postal items and dolls' houses. Quiz night on Wednesday at 8pm.
Portobello took over from Antic here in 2020. Closed for significant refurbishment in July 2023, reopening in early October 2023 with the number of handpumps reduced to 3, with one handpump sometimes used for non real cider.

Loving the recent refurbishment and more importantly the great sounding and tasting menu. The menu has a good variety of dishes (but not too big) which allows the kitchen to push out great tasting pub and bistro level food. The Korean chicken bites were delicious and I was very happy to see a bit of fusion on their menu. The fish and chips was flavoursome and fresh, definitely a lot better than other pubs in the area. The chicken schnitzel was crispy and cooked well but could have done with perhaps a bit more flavour in the breadcrumb to whack it up a notch. The sticky toffee pudding was the…

Visited for the first time on a Wednesday lunch time. Atmosphere lovely although the ceiling still needs to be finished I believe. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional and a refreshing surprise for a local establishment. The schnitzel was crispy and moist with great flavours. The beetroot burger was full of flavour but could have done with a bit more cole slaw. Chips were good too. Overall a great lunch. It wasn’t busy at all so I hope the standards are the same when it’s busy. I will definitely visit again and support this lovely local establishment

Nicely modern designed building with shabby chic feel. Area to drink outside. Service good. Drinks on tap were standard. Food looked ok but we didn’t eat this time.

Lovely family friendly pub. Went there after a kids birthday party. Great space to sit and chill. The food was very tasty, I had the Chicken burger, my dad had the fish and chips which he said was very fresh and delicious. My son has a fish allergy and ARFID. Even though he couldn't find anything to eat they accommodated him by allowing him to bring in a sandwich from outside and eat. Friendly and helpful staff and topped it off with delicious cheesecake.

Beautiful newly renovated pub with amazing food. Also a good place to work during the week. There’s step-free access from the side.
